# Panel structure: 219 observations across 55 unique startups

## Claim

The dataset is 219 startup-period observations, not 219 unique startups.

## Why it matters

Panel structure (longitudinal). 55 unique startups × ~4 quarters each = 219 observations. Permits fixed-effects regressions.

## Source section
